NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE POWER CABLE, DOING SO MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION ©American Audio® - www. americanaudio. com - V-01 SeriesTM Power Amplifier User Manual Page 10 Set Up INPUTS - The V-01 Series amplifiers allow you to use two types of input connectors per channel, a XLR jack for balanced connections and a 1/4" female jack that will accept balanced and unbalanced connectors. Use these connections to connect the output signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to your V-01 Series amplifier. When constructing your own XLR cables follow the pin configuration describe below for proper connections. The 1/4" unbalanced input option may be more convenient for most users due to the abundant supply of prefabricated cables available at your local audio dealer. You may use the two XLR "Input Thru" jacks to jump a parallel connection to another amplifier or other device. You may now connect a XLR cable from the channel one "Input Thru" jack to the input jack of another amplifier's channel one input. This will reduce the use of "Y" cables.

The speaker wire may be connect by bare wire (directly connected, usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade connector. Connections are made to Channels 1 and 2 output's for stereo mode or across the red terminals of Channels 1 and 2 for Mono Bridge Mode. Important Notice: Although a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier binding post, be sure to plug the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid speakers being out of phase, that can cause a loss of bass Figure 8 response.
